    In case you haven't already figured it out I'm just fooling around to see how many fools I can convince that I am a DL when I'm not.

      You were the first Settler I saw to know whut DL means, IIRC.

      (1) You've been lurking the forum for a while. (Unlikely.)
      (2) You catch on really fast. (Impossible ).
      (3) You're a dl. (Bingo!)

        In one of the first threads I started (http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=90233) I asked what DL stands for and Ming was kind enough to tell me.
        Unlike other people you know I catch on really fast.
        And if I am a DL then I've ovbiously dropped my other logon completely to obtain such a high number of PPD.

          Maybe it was on that fist pic. But the function of your circled link is the same as the little boxes in front of the thread title on the forum page (my second attached pic).

          "This only takes you to the first post since your last log-on, it doesn't keep track of whether you looked at a particular page."

          The example I gave was Suomithreadi XXVII, which I had never opened before, but clicking the link took me to post #179. That was the first post dated after the last time I had logged on.

          It can't be too hard for cookies to keep track of the last page I've viewed in a subscribed page and take me back there instead of some arbitrary point in time that I may have logged in to check a PM or do a quick post for a succession game.

            On a site with tens of thousands of threads open at any given time, and you want it to record the last time you accessed each and every one of them? I hope you have plenty of free h/d space if you plan on storing all that data...

              I should be ashamed--I posted in that thread

              (That doesn't change my opinion though )

                Pay attention: I said subscribed only. If you didn't spam in so many worthless threads hd space wouldn't be an issue, would it?

                And how much space does it take to store threadid and last viewed page length/number in the Apolyton cookie? Sounds like 4 bytes of data… add in the date to make pruning easier, 3 more bytes. In txt format 20ish characters.

                  Well maybe not.

                  Since you have survived this long I conclude you are a clever enough DL not to get caught, or someone who unfortunately looks very much like a DL, but is not.

                  The jury is still out.

                      I don't recall ever being accused of being a DL when I started posting.
